Infocus X10 Reviews: |
Value: 10/10

The IN83 ensures that the new DarkChip 4 system not only lives up to our sky-high expectations, but that it does so at a far lower price than we'd ever have thought possible

The Bottom Line
It's this simple. I really love my JVC RS1, but, were it not for my slight sensitivity to the rainbow effect, and that I would have to abandon shelf mounting and make a mess that my wife would not be happy with, I most likely would be looking for a buyer to take my JVC so I could buy the IN83. Now that's saying a lot.
Congratulations to InFocus - they've nailed it this time! If your budget allows, you definitely need to place the InFocus IN83 on the shortest of your short lists. |

Sharpness is great by default, with fine image detail easily visible — but there are adjustment options if it isn’t suited to your tastes. We tested this InFocus home theatre projector on the Cinema setting, which lowers brightness to dark room-friendly levels. Brightness is more than high enough for watching with the lights on, however, with a rated ANSI lumens setting of 1600.
If you are looking for a 1080p home theatre projector with exemplary image quality and great colour accuracy, consider the IN83. If you can place it in your cinema room without trouble, the InFocus IN83 is a great choice.

Introduction
The InFocus IN83 brings true cinema experience to a wider audience. This projector integrates very latest in digital imaging technology with the 1080p DLP® DarkChip4 chipset from Texas Instruments™. Rendering the most lifelike images possible with enhanced contrast and greater brightness, the IN83 is the most powerful home cinema projector in InFocus’ lineup.
Brightness & Video Performance
The IN83 delivers 1600 Max ANSI lumens after D6500K calibration, producing vivid and bright images with film-standard color accuracy. A rich 5000:1 native contrast further enriches the image in theater rooms, and if desired, the contrast can be boosted to a maximum 15000:1 by activating the onboard iris.
Connectivity
The IN83 utilizes the very latest in high definition connectivity thanks to onboard HDMI 1.3 inputs with Deep Color™ support. This new HDMI standard will display up to 1.07 billion colors for a smooth picture without color band artifacts. The IN83 also provides a complete suite of connections, including HDMI, DVI, Component and Computer inputs, screen triggers, RS232, and an IR repeater input.
(Deep Color requires HDMI 1.3 compatible media player & source material.)
Video Processing & Scaling
Leveraging the latest Pixelworks™ DNX™ 10-bit video processing, the IN83 is a master of full-HD reproduction. This is the same outstanding processing, de-interlacing, and scaling performance as the “home theater of the year” IN82 and award-winning IN7x series. The IN83 hosts unrivaled built-in scaling support for 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for true Cinemascope/widescreen without an external scaler (requires anamorphic lens, available separately).
Video Settings
InFocus Color Gamut Calibrator and ISF Day & Night presets allow optimized performance at all times. Installers can “lock in” these ideal calibration settings for clients - an excellent value-add opportunity.
The Highlights
- DLP® 1080P Chipset featuring BrilliantColor™ technology
- 1600 Max ANSI Lumens
- 15000:1 Contrast Ratio (5000:1 with Active Iris disabled)
- Tabletop, Ceiling-mount and rear projection
- 2-year warranty on the X10 projector, 6-month warranty on the lamp |
